Lego coin purse

This is the purse I made from felt, inspired by a Lego brick.  I adhered the one inch circles on the front with 'Heat and Seal'.

AEI{heart}U Challenge #3

The latest Avery Elle challenge is Ombre / Gradient:


I used the cake stamp from the set "Fanfare" and watercolours to create the gradient effect. The sequins started out clear and I coloured them with various copic markers, again to create a gradient.



I cut the bow and cake out by hand (because I couldn't keep the watercolour in between the lines!).

Supplies:
Stamps:  Fanfare, Oh Happy Day - Avery Elle 
Ink:  Gold - VersaColor, Black - Tsukineko
Others: watercolours, sequins, copic markers RV02, RV04, gold pen

Papertrey October Blog Hop Challenge - Summer Christmas Tags

The challenge this month is to create a set of five Christmas gift tags. Since it's Summer during Christmas in Australia, I decided to use images related to Summer, in summery colours.  Here is a group shot of the tags:


The tags were cut using the Tag Sale #3 die, and I discovered that the "Merry Christmas" stamp from the Snowflake Flurries set fit in the space at the bottom.

Here are the tags laid out:


I used Diamond Stickles on the mistletoe.



Supplies:
Stamps:  Bitty Background Blocks, Holly Jolly, Masculine Motifs, Pedal Pushers, Snowflake Flurries, Sweet as Can Be, Up, Up and Away- Papertrey Ink 
Ink:  Turquoise - VersaColor, Rocket Red - Tsukineko
Dies: Holly Jolly, Flipping Out - Papertrey Ink
Others: Diamond Stickles

Silhouette Portrait - birthday card



This is the first card I completely designed using the Silhouette Portrait. 
Details: Font Aharoni 700pt for the number, 60pt for the name. The offset for the green number is 2mm.
The black background is embossed using Spellbinders bricks.
Since I had left-over pieces, I made a co-ordinating tag.
